Two ensuite Korean porcelain jars circa early 19th century Joseon Dynasty, attributed to Punwon-ri ware and measures 5.5" diameter x 4" height and 4" diameter x 3.65" height individually. This type of small globular jar with large and slightly everted mouth rim and a recessed foot ring were traditionally used as containers for pickles or spices and the slightly splayed mouth allows them to be stacked for storage.
The surface of the jar features a white glaze with a pale blue tint. The patina on the larger jar includes some crackle lines and the dark grease marks along the crackles are due to years of soaking in oil substance. The base rim retains some sand grits from kiln firing support and the small jar has also retained minute dark granules due to the explosion in the kiln.
For a nearly identical jar, see page 211 of "Korean Art from the Gompertz and Other Collections in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. A Complete Catalog" by Yun Yong-i. less
